I have a container the size of the window (call it A) which contains another longer container (call it B) so I can vertically scroll the contents of the window. In the longer B container I have 5 listboxes (8 lines each). When I update the contents of the 5 listboxes the listbox (or portion thereof) that is not within the A container is not updated.
I was so surprised by this that I didn’t even notice it for weeks. Is this expected or a known bug?
MacOS with Xojo 2025r2.1. Since I am currently determined to not upgrade Xojo at the new price any suggested workarounds are appreciated.
Let me get this straight.
- 5 list boxes in container B
- Container B in Container A
- When you update one of the 5 list boxes that’s not in container A, it doesn’t update?
How is that even possible??? The list boxes are inside A because they’re inside B. Right???
a picture of the layout designer might help
And what platform you’re on.
if you search Xojo’s Issues for the two separate words “listbox” and “container” there are a few oddities reported about listbox in containers behaving strangely
This may be one of those
Oh and is this using. the new DesktopContainer, DesktopListbox etc ?
Or Classic ContainerControl, Listbox etc ?
does something like this show the problem ?
